Positive Inotropes and Their Role in Cardiology

Positive inotropic agents are commonly used in cardiology to improve myocardial contractility and support cardiac performance in selected clinical settings. This webinar explores the pharmacology, mechanisms of action, indications, and clinical applications of commonly used positive inotropes. The session discusses their role in managing heart failure, cardiogenic shock, and other conditions associated with reduced cardiac output. Participants will gain insights into patient selection, hemodynamic effects, monitoring requirements, and potential adverse effects associated with these medications. Practical case-based discussions highlight evidence-informed decision-making and the importance of balancing therapeutic benefits with safety considerations in contemporary cardiovascular practice.
